ansys.dpf.core.operators.averaging.to_nodal#

class ansys.dpf.core.operators.averaging.to_nodal(field=None, mesh_scoping=None, merge_solid_shell=None, shell_layer=None, config=None, server=None)#

Bases: ansys.dpf.core.dpf_operator.Operator

Transforms a field into a Nodal field using an averaging process. The result is computed on a given node’s scoping.

Parameters:

  • field (Field or FieldsContainer) – field or fields container with only one field is expected

  • mesh_scoping (Scoping, optional)

  • merge_solid_shell (bool, optional) – For shell/solid mixed fields, group in the same field all solids and shells (false by default). If this pin is true, a shell_layer needs to be specified.

  • shell_layer (int, optional) – 0: Top, 1: Bottom, 2: BottomTop, 3: Mid, 4: BottomTopMid. If merge_solid_shell is true, this pin needs to be specified to a value that extracts only one layer (Top, Bottom or Mid).

Returns:

field

Return type:

Field

Examples

>>> from ansys.dpf import core as dpf

>>> # Instantiate operator
>>> op = dpf.operators.averaging.to_nodal()

>>> # Make input connections
>>> my_field = dpf.Field()
>>> op.inputs.field.connect(my_field)
>>> my_mesh_scoping = dpf.Scoping()
>>> op.inputs.mesh_scoping.connect(my_mesh_scoping)
>>> my_merge_solid_shell = bool()
>>> op.inputs.merge_solid_shell.connect(my_merge_solid_shell)
>>> my_shell_layer = int()
>>> op.inputs.shell_layer.connect(my_shell_layer)

>>> # Instantiate operator and connect inputs in one line
>>> op = dpf.operators.averaging.to_nodal(
...     field=my_field,
...     mesh_scoping=my_mesh_scoping,
...     merge_solid_shell=my_merge_solid_shell,
...     shell_layer=my_shell_layer,
... )

>>> # Get output data
>>> result_field = op.outputs.field()

static _spec() → ansys.dpf.core.operators.specification.Specification#
static default_config(server: ansys.dpf.core.server_types.AnyServerType = None) → ansys.dpf.core.config.Config#

Returns the default config of the operator.

This config can then be changed to the user needs and be used to instantiate the operator. The Configuration allows to customize how the operation will be processed by the operator.

Parameters:

server – Server with channel connected to the remote or local instance. When None, attempts to use the global server.

Returns:

A new Config instance equivalent to the default config for this operator.

Return type:

config

property inputs: InputsToNodal#

Enables to connect inputs to the operator

Returns:

An instance of InputsToNodal.

Return type:

inputs

property outputs: OutputsToNodal#

Enables to get outputs of the operator by evaluating it

Returns:

An instance of OutputsToNodal.

Return type:

outputs
